Preparing to Use Easy CD Creator
CAUTION: To prevent loss of work and damage to a CD or DVD:
Before writing to a CD or DVD, connect the notebook to a reliable
external power source. Do not write to a CD or DVD while the
notebook is running on battery power.
Before writing to CD or DVD, close all open applications (including
screen savers and antivirus software) except Easy CD Creator Basic.
Do not copy directly from a CD or DVD to another CD or DVD or from
a network drive to a CD or DVD. Instead, copy from a CD, DVD< or
a network drive to your hard drive, then copy from your hard drive to
the CD or DVD.
Do not type on the notebook keyboard or move the notebook while
the notebook is writing to a CD or DVD. The write process is sensitive
to vibration.
Choosing Recording Media
HP recommends using high-quality media that correspond to the
maximum speed of the optical drive. The notebook can write or
copy to CDs and DVDs which provide one-time, non-erasable
recording or to CDs and DVDs which provide erasable
recording.
Responding to the UDF Prompt
The first time you insert a CD or DVD into an optical drive, you
may be prompted to install Universal Disk Format (UDF)
Reader. When UDF Reader is installed, a CD or DVD created
with DirectCD on your notebook can be used in another
computer on which DirectCD is not installed.
Even if UDF Reader is installed on your notebook, a CD or
DVD created with DirectCD software can be used in a
compatible optical drive only if you select the Rearrange the
Files option as you create the CD or DVD.
